About us

EAT ~ PLAY ~ LOVE

Learn and practice Integral Yoga & Meditation with an inspiring community of like-minded people while living in a traditional Cambodian village. Our Yoga and Meditation Learning Center is spread out over 2 acres of jungle gardens in the shade of the Ancient Temples of Angkor. We offer authentic, inspiring, and affordable 6 Day Retreat Programs to suite all levels.

Our retreats are based on Integral Yoga & Meditation, Community, Creativity, Healthy & Delicious Vegan Food, and Connection with Nature. Our course program includes daily classes, health & wellness, Dharma talks, community activities, and free time. You will learn and be inspired by our experienced team of 5 international yoga and meditation instructors. We take a holistic approach to health through the body, heart and mind, offering hands on adjustments and individual support for all levels of experience. We promote and encourage setting up a daily practice of yoga and meditation.

Through our meditation practice we learn to relax back into the center of our being through stillness, strengthening our basic awareness, and releasing the heaviness of the past. We also teach the importance of mindfulness by cultivating awareness throughout the whole day.

We observe a Digital Detox as well as Silent Mornings throughout the course. This encourages us to listen more deeply to life and live in the present moment.

Hariharalaya is named after the Vedic capitol of Cambodia which existed on the same land as the Hariharalaya Retreat Center from 800 AD – 1000 AD, hundreds of years before Angkor Wat. Since its early beginnings in 2010, Hariharalaya continues to stand by its commitment to offering authentic and inspiring courses in Integral Yoga, Meditation and Conscious Living at affordable prices. Over the last 6 years we have hosted over 350 retreats with over 4,000 participants from 85 different countries. We have a team of international yoga teachers, meditation teachers and healers including the founder and director Joel Altman, who has dedicated the last 16 years of his life to living and sharing the teachings of Integral Yoga.

Retreat Program

The Daily Schedule is the foundation of our program and sets the rhythm for the retreat.

We have developed our schedule over years of experience and are proud to offer an inspiring learning program.

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner feature homemade vegan meals. All of our recipes are available in our Cambodian Vegan Cookbook. Workshops and Tours are optional and available at an additional fee. Free Time is time to relax, integrate and explore. It is also possible to take out bikes, explore the village, sit by the lounge pool, play games, read a book or just lay in a hammock.
